first time using istick

[Sherry7001]

Just got the istick 30 watt with a Kanger sub tank mini. It's almost charged & I have the tank filled & ready to go. I've only ever used a Kanger Evod 2 & don't know what voltage or settings to put it on. I like a decent throat hit but don't care how big a cloud I get. Suggestions? I'm ready to fire this baby up!

Start low and work up is the rule. What coil is in the Subtank?

 

[jaba62]

.5 ohm coil? I would start at about 20W and work your way up to see where you like it.

I got my first iStick, a 100W, today too! I'm not subohming, so listen to the others, but I did follow their advice: I'm at 9W (4.1V) using a 1.9 ohm coil in my Nautilus and Lovin' it.

Vape On!

 

[Sherry7001]

It's a 0.5 ohm coil, the one that came in it. My juice is 50/50. Do you go higher or lower for a warmer vape?

The Kanger Subtank Mini is a good tank. You probably have the 0.5ohm & 1.2ohm pre-built factory coils(?). Try starting @ around 15W on the 0.5ohm coil and 12W on the 1.2ohm coil, but it's really all about personal preference...play around with it and you'll find your perfect setting in no time. Fire it up Sherry!

Firing up @ 15 in 3, 2, 1 ... Nice! Now that I have a starting point, I'll fool around with it. Huge improvement over the Evod. I have a tobacco flavor in it right now till I get used to it, then I'm gonna try out my flavored ones I got. What will be on the menu for tomorrow? Strawberry? Creamsicle? Chocolate? If juice was fattening, I'd be buying bigger pants!

congrats. istck 30w is one of their best, IMHO.
Start low and work upward.

I vape low voltage so starting at 20W would be way too high. I suggest starting at less than that for sure, esp. if you are coming off Evod 2, (which is the same as a Protank 3) and came with 1.5 ohm & 2.0 ohm dual coils.

I would start at 10watts-15watts

3,2,1 we have lift off. Glad you didn't have an exploding cigar!. Alls good..

Similar to a Hair Dryer the more power you throw at it the hotter it will get

A helpful hint, Sherry.....In the future when wanting extra coils, you might like to try out the Aspire "Replacement" BVC's (NON Nautilus) that work perfectly in the Subtank mini.

Also, the ProTank 2 coils work in the STM (Subtank mini) as well. I can rebuild those horizontal coils with 30 g. Kanthal and cellucotton.

The OCC coils that come with the Subtank mini can be rebuilt. When the coil is "done for", get rid of coil and wick and save the housing for the future if you do get into rebuilding.

The RBA that comes with the Subtank mini is also an alternative to build on when you get ready.

Love the options for this tank! Have fun.

I do hope you let the coil get good and primed BEFORE you hit it!!!

LOVE my iStick 30

Start low and gradually go up till you get a satisfying vape.

If you have the horizontal coil the top wattage is 35. Watts.

If it has the vertical coil you can go higher.

ABSOLUTELY. Burning cotton tastes nasty.

My wife has an iStick 30 and uses a Subtank Mini with a 1.2 at 9w.

I use Subtanks at 10-15w with 1.2ohm coils and 30w with 0.5 coils.

Not sure I would push our iStick 30 to 30w though.

At least if you want to have much battery life.

I'm sure you probably have Already. But if you haven't, don't forget to Try different setting of the Airflow Control Ring on the Base of your Subtank Mini.

You can Dramatically Change the way the Hit Tastes by Increasing of Decreasing the amount of Airflow.

Good advice there from zoiDman - varying the draft really does make a great difference to both taste and vapour production IMHO and helps tailor your device to your personal needs and style of vaping.

Like a lot of folk I kicked off with the cig-a-likes went on to an ego pen type device but for me vaping really really became great when I got a Nautilus Mini with its variable air control.

Enjoy the journey!

A bonus of the Nautilus Mini is it had good flavor for a tank too!
